A spacious four-bedroom Victorian semi-detached home offering generous room proportions, original period features and off-street parking. High ceilings, bay windows and decorative architraves give immediate character, while three reception rooms and a basement create flexible living space for a growing family.
The house requires full modernisation and cosmetic renovation throughout: systems, finishes and insulation are dated and some works are needed to make the property move-in ready. The solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, and the property should be inspected for any further structural or services work before purchase.
There is clear scope to increase value: a large loft offers potential to extend (subject to planning) and the third reception room could be opened into an open-plan kitchen/diner. Chain-free vacant possession makes this a practical refurbishment project for DIY buyers or small developers targeting families.
Location is convenient for commuters with East and West Croydon stations and tram links within walking distance, and several local schools rated Outstanding or Good. Note the immediate area records higher crime and local deprivation, which prospective buyers should consider alongside the property's potential.
